TAURUS New Moon

The Struggle Is Real

INNER & OUTER meet where getting on the 'Same Page' leads to Stability!

The MOON & SUN meet in TAURUS where the struggle between worldly desires and higher aspirations, becomes clear.

ORION is the constellation for this area of Taurus, tales of this character aptly reflect the struggle between heart and mind.

Notably, this ORION area of Taurus is ruled by Venus (heart) and Mercury (mind). The picture symbol for this meetup degree:

MAN WITH A RAKISH SILK HAT, MUFFLED, BRAVES THE STORM. 

Protecting the conscious thinking in style, as the inner conflicts are tackled, straight away.

It may seem like we're being pulled in a million different directions with so many planetary aspects on Rx Mission.

PALLAS Rx: Pattern Recognition
CERES Rx Mission: Seeing the Signs
JUPITER Rx: Illumined Willpower
PLUTO Rx: Life Transforming Ideals
SATURN Rx: Dedication and Drive

Yes, the struggle is real! Very fitting that all these players will be positioned high in the sky as this New Moon commences.

Heart & Mind, Value, Security & Stability are the keywords, as the fortnight of this Inner Build (waxing) moon phase begins.

This (Inner meets Outer) TAURUS New Moon occurs today, May 4th at 5:45pm CST. 

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!

The constellation for this area of Aries is the epic hero PERSEUS, slayer of the destructive thought forms of Medusa.

Moon & Neptune in Pisces

Inner Mystique 

INNER SELF meets the GREAT MYSTIC in PISCES with Complete Dedication to True Principles

Pisces is a mutable water sign where Neptune wears the crown. Neptune is the energy of the Outer, Inner, & Higher Self working together, in concert.

This is reflected by Neptune's trident shaped glyph. The three divisions of mind pointing upwards to a higher purpose, over the cross of matter.

This trifecta expression of mind is humble and geared towards what is beneficial for ALL. The constellation reflecting this area of Pisces is ANDROMEDA.

Andromeda's mother Cassiopeia was boasting about being more beautiful than the 50 Sea Nymphs (all with exemplar character) called the Nereids.

The king of the sea Neptune was appalled by this and sent a sea monster to ravage their city. A plea for help was sent out to expansive Jupiter.

Jupiter works out a deal with Neptune to save the city. The maker of this offense must sacrifice her own beautiful daughter to the Sea monster.

ANDROMEDA, having no fault in this whole situation, sacrifices herself to save the city and all its inhabitants. Expansive Jupiter steps in again!

Sending in his man the hero Prometheus, who saves Andromeda, destroys the Sea monster and becomes the Prince Charming love of her life!

The moral of the story really seems to be rewards are great for those willing to sacrifice their personal desires for that which brings benefit to All. 

Neptune will be here at 18°Pisces through Aug15th. Neptune goes Rx from this point on Summer Solstice just before the Sun enters Cancer.

SATURN Rx Mission

 Dedication & Drive

SATURN Rx in CAPRICORN where Useful Dedication is key!

SATURN is the energy of the wise old teacher who knows how things work. The expertise of Saturn is structure.

Saturn teaches us the structural workings of things. The picture symbol for this Rx stationing degree:

A RELAY RACE. EACH RUNNER SPRINGS EAGERLY INTO PLACE. 

A collective drive for accomplishment. Aspects are eager and ready for mental movement.

This Rx Mission begins with some extra oomph! As Saturn Rx and the South Node of the Past are both at 20°Capricorn.

When Saturn goes backtracking, it's no joke! This summer-long retrograde period is sure to bring ample gains.

The Fish & Ram both have a Cappie Moon that will take a direct hit from Wise-one Saturn during this Rx period.

AQUARIUS Half Waning Moon

Authentic INNER RELEASE 

Half Waning MOON at 6°AQUARIUS where Originality is key!

A letting go of the old so the new can be born, kind of time! Pluto Rx would agree! The picture symbol for this degree:

OUT OF THE COSMIC EGG, LIFE IS BORN FRESH AND VIRGINAL. 

The universal creative principle, makes life seem quite brand new.

Shrugging off the old fixed programming and stepping out into a whole new world, with a truly authentic view!

This is the first (fixed mode) lunation of Taurus Season. The Inner Moon doing it's part during this time of (fixed) stability.

Inner Release for 7 more days, leading up to the Taurus New Moon. The Half Waning Moon rises at midnight and sets at noon.
